Cannabis use and other predictors of the onset of daily cigarette use in young men: What matters most? Results from a longitudinal study
Our results highlight the relevance of cannabis use compared to other potential predictors of the progression of tobacco use and thereby support the reverse gateway hypothesis
Predictors of onset of cannabis and other drug use in male young adults: Results from a longitudinal study
Consideration of the predictor variables identified within this study may help to identify young male adults for whom preventive measures for cannabis or other drug use are most appropriate. The results provide evidence for both the gateway hypothesis and the common liability to addiction model and point to further variables like depressiveness or practising of religion that might influence the onset of drug use
